From The Depths - A Historical Fiction (BETA)


Recommended Posts

Okay, I've a few nitpicks as well...

 

Hercule Martel's bio calls him "Liaudin" in the second paragraph .

 

Samantha Foster's favoured roles limit her to being a wrestler, except BSW doesn't have women's wrestling, so the AI leaves her role as "unassigned".

 

...

 

With the first release, I tried out QALP, got all the way up to the first day of 1992.

With this new release, I'Ve decided to start with the IWF as Simon Smithe, with my personnal RP rule:

Scheming Simon Shill : Simon Smithe was rehired as HEAD BOOKER, but as the financials show, he is not receiving a salary. To remedy this, at least once every week, book a 6-minute solo promo so Simon can plug his Telephone Hotline (whose profits all go directly in his pockets in lieu of salary).

Did a little digging and it looks like what's causing the issue with alter ego pics is that the updated file names weren't changed within the worker contracts. If anyone wants to fix w/o waiting for next update the quickest way I found to do it was make a list of all the alter egos and then just go in and edit those workers contracts and click the 'apply alter ego' button for a quick fix. You'll probably want to make sure you apply company specific ego for each one as there are guys with multiple alter egos who work in multiple companies.

<p>Been playing RICW a bit more and in anticipation of RICW's biggest show of the year allow me the honor of previewing the card for:</p><p> </p><p>

</p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong><span style="font-size:24px;">ULTIMATE FORCE II</span></strong></p><p> </p><p>

<strong>OPENING CONTEST</strong></p><p><strong>

WrestleNaut, Blue Thunder, & The Coast Guard (Shore Leave Sal & Captain Blackeye)</strong></p><p><strong>

vs</strong></p><p><strong>

Ace Love, The Strongman, Loverboy Ludd, & Space Frog</strong></p><p> </p><p>

A Wacky opener if ever there was one and a general outline of what my vision of RICW is all about, crazy gimmicks, talented youngster, and both teams containing at least one alien.</p><p> </p><p>

<strong>Night Stick On A Pole Match</strong></p><p><strong>

Burt Magnum vs Officer O'Malley</strong></p><p> </p><p>

Officer O'Malley has only gotten nastier since piledriving his own partner Ranger John Forrest to force him out of the company and this police brutality has found its way to intrepid private eye Burt Magnum whose been attempting to stop the deranged copper all summer, now it's all coming to a head as Magnum and O'Malley tussle over who really is the law in RICW with the latter's weapon of choice hanging in the balance!</p><p> </p><p>

<strong>Two Out of Three Falls</strong></p><p><strong>

'Real Wrestler' Bobby Chuck Tyler vs Jimmy Overton</strong></p><p> </p><p>

Ever since turning heel on Santa in December Bobby Chuck Tyler's been nothing short of a snotty bully, especially to RICW's #1 Fan Jimmy Overton, haranguing Jimmy as a loser and a chump all year long. However, with a little mentoring from Gary Greystone, Jimmy's fortunes have been changing and that's lead him to challenge his tormentor to two out of three falls to see who's really the better man.</p><p> </p><p>

<strong>Dumpster Match</strong></p><p><strong>

Reginald Smithee vs Taylor Trash</strong></p><p> </p><p>

It's a known fact that neither of these two likes the other and that rivalry is set to explode once more as the yuppie attempts to get revenge for their last dumpster encounter where Trash put Smithee into the garbage to the fans' delight.</p><p> </p><p>

<strong>Air Guitar Contest</strong></p><p><strong>

Judged by RICW Tag Team Champions: Rock Hard</strong></p><p> </p><p>

The rockinest dudes in all of RICW are taking a break from defending their belts after besting the Dirtiest Players (The former Hobos Kal and Mal) in a loser leaves town match last month by judging some lucky fans' air guitar prowess and give prizes for first, second, and third place!</p><p> </p><p>

<strong>Northern States Title Match</strong></p><p><strong>

WrestleTron © vs Cromagnon</strong></p><p> </p><p>

The fun-loving robot from the far east, WrestleTron, has recently wrested the Northern States title from the curmudgeonly caveman Cromagnon in a falls count anywhere contest after the big galoot pretended not to know the rules and got himself counted out in their first outing. Now the rules are on WrestleTron's side but can his futuristic acrobatics prove too much for the brute strength of the man from 500,000 BC?</p><p> </p><p>

<strong>Kenny Casanova vs Scourge</strong></p><p>

There can be no greater clash of styles than this as the man who exudes style from every pore of his body, Kenny Casanova, recently cemented as a babyface by firing Dr. Dave Herbert and his former lackey Loverboy Ludd takes on the man who could be a villain in a Mad Max movie, Scourge! Will Kenny Casanova's change in attitude translate to winning ways or is one of Advocate Diablo's most ardent attack dogs going to take a piece out of Kenny's hide?</p><p> </p><p>

<strong>Gary Greystone vs Carny Jack</strong></p><p> </p><p>

In many ways a mirror of Overton vs Tyler only this time the man taking on the bully is quite a few years his senior. Carny Jack is a mountain of a man like many of the heels in RICW, and he's used that bulk to great affect against Gary Greystone, pinning him last month to avenge a lost earlier in the summer. A lot is riding on this bout, especially for the little ones in the crowd as Jack has promised to rip apart all the Gary Greystone 8x10's at the merch table after he wins (buy 'em fast, folks, just in case)!</p><p> </p><p>

<strong>RICW American Title</strong></p><p><strong>

Steel Cage Grudge Match</strong></p><p><strong>

The Reaper © vs Khan w/Advocate Diablo</strong></p><p> </p><p>

A match that has been building for months upon months now is that of RICW's beloved champion, the man who famously turned against his master Advocate Diablo in a show of mercy to former champ DT Dixon, The Reaper facing the latest monster that Diablo has molded into his perfect slave, the King of All Conquerors known as Khan. The Reaper has not lost a singles contest since capturing the title, Khan has not lost period since joining the company, and both times these men have fought one on one it has ended in chaos and controversy as a mere wrestling ring could not withstand the mayhem! So RICW officials have commissioned a specially reinforced steel cage that God-willing will keep the two titans locked inside and the fans safe on the outside while we finally attempt to see a definitive winner in this, the greatest feud RICW has ever seen!</p></div><p></p><p></p>

<p>Finally gave this a go, really enjoying it so far. I usually avoid anything pre 200s, but with MJStark and jhd1...I had to give it a go. </p><p> </p><p>

Few quick questions. It was mentioned that missing graphics were being done, is that still the case?</p><p> </p><p>

Also, any chance to get a psd file of the worker background? I want to take Thunderverse renders and add them to background to use a free renders.</p><p> </p><p>

Great work on this guys!</p>

Glad people are still enjoying this! :)

 

Booked my first show last night and it was a ton of fun! Taking some notes on characters before starting the full dynasty, I LOVED writing a Rip Bella promo. :)

Guys, does anybody have the picture of Hercules Rock without (I don't really know hot to explain it) the "dead" filter? Without the static filter?

 

Thanks!

 

EDIT: Oh! And also, if anyone can share the bg for the pics it would be much aprecciated!

 

I can put one together at the weekend for you? It's supposed to resemble a paused VCR but with a bit less distortion but it was something we were still playing around with at the time of release which is why some have that filter and some don't.

 

I'll post the background files at the same time.

<p>Andy - sorry, I haven't had chance to do the image yet but I'll try and get it done today. </p><p> </p><p>

Mpgranato - rather than try and remember off the top of my head I'll check when I am doing the image for Andy.</p><p> </p><p>

Stennick - unfortunately not, primarily due to a lack of time, although I've never particularly been keen on doing then as they tend to be poorly suited to a square image!</p>

<p>I'll have a chat with MJ about re-uploading the data.</p><p> </p><p>

Andy - Hercules Rock attached. I can only attach one image at a time so I'll have to add a couple more posts after this. With regard to these backgrounds, a render is added to the background picture (at 325x488px for what it is worth). That is then resized to 133x133px and placed behind the overlay. </p><p> </p><p>

mpgranato - the font is Bebas Kai size 20.</p><p><a class="ipsAttachLink ipsAttachLink_image" href="<fileStore.core_Attachment>/monthly_2019_11/1364229805_HerculesRock_alt.jpg.abb97d84040745ec43d298b3af1ef2a8.jpg" data-fileid="3531" data-fileext="jpg" rel=""><img data-fileid="3531" class="ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed" alt="1364229805_HerculesRock_alt.jpg.abb97d84040745ec43d298b3af1ef2a8.jpg" data-src="<fileStore.core_Attachment>/monthly_2019_11/1364229805_HerculesRock_alt.jpg.abb97d84040745ec43d298b3af1ef2a8.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></a></p>
